CARD OF THANKS
My long stay in the hospital made
me realize just what it means to
have friends like you people in
Teague. Your words of encourage-
ment, ^ards, letters, and visits, did
much more to hasten my recovery
than all the medicines.
For every kindness shown me at
thisTime I will ever be grateful.

Member Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
Candidate Yarborough, say" re-
peatedly that Governor Shivers
'“raised his right hand and took
a solemn oath” at the 1952
Democratic National Convention
in Chicago to support the
nominees of that convention—
and that Shivers later ‘‘violated
his oath"
HERE ARE THE FACTS
1 attended that eonvention as
one of the two delegates from
the sixth congressional District
of Texas. Judge A. P. Mays, of
Corsicana, was the other district
delegate. Shivers was the Chair-
man of the Texas delegation
Neither I nor Judge Mays nor
Governor Shivers took any
‘‘oath” to do anything, nor did
any delegate from any ' state.
Shivers did, not “violate” any
"oath”’ or “pledge.”
The Official Proceedings of
that Convention are printed. I
have a copy and would be glad
to show it to anyone interested
in knowing the truth. On page
55 of these proceedings is
shown the only “pledge" taken
| by any delegate. It was part
of a resolution adopted by the
Convention, (before nominations
had been made) and it reads:
"No delegate shall be seated
unless he shall give assurance
to the Credentials Committee
that he will exert every honor-
able means available to him in
any official capacity he may
have to provide that the nomi-
nees of this convention for
President and vice-president,
through their names or those
of electors pledged to them, ap-
pear on the ballot under the
heading, name or designation
of the Democratic party.”
During the discussion of this
“pledge” (above quoted) on
page 68 of the record, Governor
Shivers said:
“We (meaning the Texas
delegation) interpret the origi-
nal resolution as far as Texas
is concerned, to require nothing
more than our state law re-
quires, that is, that those in
Texas who desi-e to vo+<» for
the nominees of this convention
shall have an opportunity to
do so, regardless of the speeches
of interpretation by others who
might fry to read something else
into it.”
The Texas State Democratic
Convention, meeting in Amaril-
lo long after the Chicago na-
tion eonvention met, voted to
carry out the “pledge” made by
Shivers and directed that the |

names of Stevenson and Spark-
man be placed on the ballot as
the nominees of the Democratic
partyrThen the State Convention
voted to blast Stevenson for his
stand on tldelands and to ask
alt Texas Democrats to vots-
for Eisehower.
Shivers does not make
“pledges” nor promises that
he does not .keep the faith!
